25 Strawberry Sunrise Pink Sunflower Seeds
Up for sale is one pack of 25 Strawberry Sunrise Sunflower seeds. These sunflowers are pollenless branching sunflowers that will produce 4" to 6" blooms with a very light yellow edged petals that transition to a pink strawberry center. Very similar to the cherry rose sunflowers we carry but with a pinkish center. CULTURE Soil temperature: 70 - 75 degrees fahrenheit Germination lighting: Dark required Germination days: 4 - 8 days Grow on temperature day: 55 - 60 degrees fahrenheit Plant spread: 24" Plant height: 48'' to 96" Plant type: Annual Maturation days: 70 days Loosen enriched garden soil down to a 6" depth. When soil is consistently 70 degrees (for zone 6-7 usually June 1st) plant seed 1/2" deep and a minimum of 24" apart if your are going to pinch them, 6" to 12" apart if your are not going to pinch (see below). These are low maintenance and require nothing else other than weekly watering. We don't recommend you start sunflowers early in pots as they send a large tap root when germinating and in pots less than 6" deep will quickly become rootbound and not develop correctly. These are a branching variety and you can choose to pinch them or not. If you don't pinch they will grow taller, up to 8', and usually produce one very large 6"-8" flower (they might still branch on their own).
